RESPECT THE CURL

The only way to understand curly hair is to respect it for the wonderful fabric that it is. When working with naturally curly hair, be aware of the natural pattern.

Sam Villa, founding partner of the Sam Villa® brand and Education Artistic Director for Redken informs us not to over-stretch the hair to discover the curl's pattern. Instead, Sam advises using a large wide-toothed comb with teeth that are set apart, allowing it to glide easily along the natural curl pattern. A fine-toothed comb has teeth set close together designed to grab hair for maximum tension, and they can stretch curly hair too much, causing the curl to snap back, making it harder to read its natural pattern.

Sam designed his Signature Series Combs with silicone and graphite resins for the smoothest glide possible.
